"Beneath A Steel Sky is one of the best classic point & click adventures you can get for free. It still has its fair share of problems, of course, but the wonderful setting makes up for a lot. We play Robert Foster, a former Union City citizen who fled with his mother to the Gap, Australia's outback, many years ago. Years later, he and his robot AI Joey are unintentionally pulled back and an adventure out of the city full of mystery, crazy technology, social criticism as well as the background of Foster's past begins, which doesn't have to hide from science fiction films like Blade Runner and Matrix. As gameplay, we are given a simplified point & click control. Instead of verbs, we use a left click to look and a right click to use. Besides the puzzles, there are many interesting dialogues with the strange characters of the city as well as a small handful of timed puzzles. These remain mostly logical as long as you don't miss all the items in the pixel look. From time to time, however, it seems as if the game is waiting for a trigger that has nothing to do with the puzzle chain, which actually led to frustration at one point or another. The great strength of the game remains without a doubt the world and the story. We work our way from the upper platforms, which are full of industrial and administrative buildings, further and further down through shopping and residential districts to the greened ground level. All with a lot of cynical humour and allusions to the real past of the city. The deeper we get, the more we learn, only to abruptly face the end in a grand finale of the story. This is the second major weakness of Beneath a Steel Sky. Revolution could have taken more time to finish the story. However, the time leading up to the finale tightens the atmosphere and tension so much, which makes up for it somewhat. The game remains a great science fiction point & click game and should be played by anyone interested in the genre."
